INTRO
Rules, rules, the governor has rules,
Restrictive zones must mark a ballroom floor.
Each guest must have a shot or test,
Keeping weddings safe is what they're for.
VERSE
I couldn't dance all night,
I couldn't dance quite right,
With zones marked on the floor.
If I had spread my wings,
I would've stepped on things,
And made some people sore.
I was annoyed and even toyed with flouting,
The Covid rules just out of spite.
But is it fair to ask us all to wear a mask,
And have to dance like plants all night?
CODA
This is our fate, folks,
It's New York State, folks,
And Cuomo is a bore.
REPRISE/DUET
I couldn't dance all night,
(What if you want to bust a move?)
I couldn't dance quite right,
(The Covid cops do not approve.)
With zones marked on the floor.
(You cross a line; you risk a fine.)
(Hey, I don't know how you can stay in the groove.)
If I had spread my wings,
(It's hard enough to stay apart.)
I would've stepped on things,
(To stay in zone is quite an art.)
And made some people sore.
(To wear a mask: an irksome task.)
(Should I even start?)
I was annoyed and even toyed with flouting,
The Covid rules just out of spite.
But is it fair to ask us all to wear a mask,
(Who codifies pandemic rules?)
(State government is made of fools!)
And have to dance like plants all night?
CODA
They cast a pall now,
On any ball now,
It's what we all deplore.
VERSE
I couldn't dance all night,
I couldn't dance quite right,
With zones marked on the floor.
If I had spread my wings,
I would've stepped on things,
And made some people sore.
I was annoyed and even toyed with flouting,
The Covid rules just out of spite.
It could be fair to ask us all to wear a mask,
But I'd no chance to dance all night.
